I am a non caffeine consumer so when I first took this, it was too strong for me. I started with the 2 capsules before breakfast and by 15 minutes I felt like throwing up. I reduced to 1 capsule before breakfast and 1 capsule before lunch and I did okay. I would feel hungry really fast before the next meal, so it actually caused me to eat more. I am going to switch from taking this to maybe carb blocker since I eat a lot of bread and rice.
It worked for my hubby though, and he said he lost some weight (very slight). However, he said not to take it for dinner because it really caused insomnia.
